And much more!!!!!

BUT....

there have been 16 years of global temperature standstill (according to Watts and his sources). So what stopped the Urban heat island effect 16 years ago. Did the population stop growing? Were no more carparks/roads/offices built?

Watts and co seem to sometimes believe in temperature measurements ("there is no temperature increase") and sometimes state categorically that accurate temperature measurements are impossible.
